It was my impression that we should expect that request pretty soon. (Actually, electronic return request letter arrived as ! was composing this trip report, hard copy to follow.) Permit application number NCG240006. The White Street Landfill is the site of a closed MSW operation, a continuing C&D landfill (one cell is being closed out now and another cell has begun operating), a woody waste mulching operation, a leaf mulching operation, and a yard waste composting operation (Type 1). Something like 50+ acres in size. The C&D operation is covered under NCG12 and is the predominant on -site activity; DWQ has previously granted representative outfall status to reduce the number of outfalls being sampled as large areas of the site are the closed MSW operaton; WSRO has in the past excused them from monthly sampling based on past consecutive fecal exceedances; they are currently in Tier 2 based on TSS exceedances; some minor responses to TSS have been attempted (floc logs tethered in the drainage ditches; cleaning out of sedimentation basins; installation of check dams in the drainage features). I didn't review the before/after data, but the on -site staff characterized their progress so far in addressing TSS as 'slow'. just visually, the observed runoff from the compost site seemed much less problematic wrt the TSS being generated by disturbed earth from the in -progress capping operation on the closed -out C&D cell. No doubt the TSS I observed yesterday was well in excess of our benchmark. The disturbed earth portion of the closing C&D cell site was analogous to a construction site. There were down -gradient 'sedimentation basins' and they appeared to work just as well as we are used to seeing at other construction sites. A good portion of the site has the benefit of a vegetated swale for drainage conveyance. I'm not sure of all the contributing drainage areas, as the swale was only of passing interest since it did not drain the composting area. I have seen vegetated practices implemented very effectively at other compost and landfill sites: Novozymes compost; Forum 52 compost in W-S; City of Sanford compost; Stanley County Septic compost; and others. By comparison, I wonder at the relative effectiveness of check dams vs real engineered vegetated systems. Typically what landfills and composters have in abundance is land (although not always.) It seems that the low hanging fruit here is to influence the initial site design to use some of the land available so that the site plan includes vegetated practices beyond just what DWM may require, ie sediment basins, in the meantime, it continues to make sense to attempt the check dams and silt fence type approaches, just to see what they are capable of. I think this disconnect between designers complying with DWM's requirement for a sediment pond, and designers NOT DESIGNING for compliance with the stormwater permit benchmarks is at the heart of what will be a continuing problem for years. My perspective is that the on -site operating staff are typically glad to throw in a floc log, or set up some silt fence. But it's not so easy after the site has been in operation for 12 years for them to approach the Solid Waste Director or City Council with a substantial capital request to retrofit a 50 acre site with vegetated practices. Should design engineers be doing this at the initial design? Absolutely. But they don't. However, I think there is some flexibility in the design of the progression of phases in a typical landfill operation. Perhaps we could persuade the design community that when they get to the design of Phase III or Stage 4 or however the progression of a landfill is labeled, that they have a second opportunity to do the whole job of environmental protection, not just a part of the job. 1 Can we take any lesson from the White Street Landfill to apply to future circumstances with co -located compost operations? • 1 think for the time being, SPU should still visit the sites with the RO's to look for how the physical circumstances might influence permitting decisions. • I think we know ahead of time that sticking with NCG12 will be OK, unless something peculiar is observed. On a personal note: l thought it was a great day to be making such a site visit, although not everyone else agreed that a cold, moderate rain was in anyway agreeable. I got to drive a 4x4 up a muddy slope in reverse.

I was at your facility some time ago when the Monitoring Committee of the Compost Stakeholder Group met there, and Jeri took us on a tour. But still I'm not sure I remember all the specifics at your site, other than there was the potential for composting and landfilling operations going on at the same site, same time. So, with no refresher on the physical facts (which do matter), here's how I think your site might fit as I remember it: I'm assuming you currently have composting activities and landfilling activities. And if you are a Type 1 composting facility per your DWM composting permit, then all of your discharges are considered stormwater. That means you do not have to worry about permitting the wastewater discharges as far as distinguishing them from stormwater discharges. They are all stormwater per new state legislation this past summer, for Type 1 facilities. In general for circumstances where two permits might pertain, we in the Stormwater Permitting Unit always try not to have two permits on one site, if we feel that we can protect the receiving waters with just one permit. So, our preference is always to see if we can issue just a single permit. My beginning perspective at your site would be the same, subject to a refresher on the physical facts, and evaluation by the Winston-Salem Regional Office. I just now reviewed the analytical testing for the two General Permits that we would consider at your site: NCG12 for landfills, which is the permit you are currently operating under, I believe. And NCG24 for composting operations. Under NCG12 your current obligation is to test 2/yr for TSS, COD, and fecal, plus weekly inspections of the stormwater controls, including the erosion and sediment control features. Under NCG24 your obligation would be to test the stormwater discharge quarterly for TSS COD, fecal, nitrogen, phosphorus, copper, lead, zinc, and pH; a more substantial testing burden. (Background: NCG24 is a roll -out program for us. We deliberately selected quarterly testing for NCG24, in part, in order to gather more data quicker so that both DWQ and composters can operate from the same sort of appreciation for the real pollutant content in the discharges from a compost site.) More background: As I understood what Raleigh told us, the cost was the key element that caused them to pursue legislation on this issue, and in particular the classification of all discharges as stormwater was the key element in reducing their forecasted costs at their Wilders Grove Road facility. Subsequently and on the basis of their reduced cost forecast, Raleigh applied for coverage under NCG24. BUT please note, your circumstance is different from Raleigh's. Raleigh did not have their compost facility co - located on their landfill. They were not in a position to explore the choice between NCG12 (landfill permit) and NCG24 (compost permit.) They needed relief via adjustments to the compost permit, and they had no alternative through the landfill permit like you do. OK, back to Greensboro. Even though your circumstances are not like Raleigh's, you can still benefit from the legislation, I think. I would want our folks at the W-S Regional Office to visit your site with the choice between one landfill permit (the current NCG12) and two permits (NCG12 for most of the site, PLUS NCG24 for the compost portion discharges). As 1 said, my beginning preference would be that we just stick with NCG12. BUT, I really would like the benefit of me and/or our folks in W-S visiting the site again. As i remember the site conditions, I think we could go with just continued coverage under NCG12. • The one thing I think I remember about one of the operational areas of the site was that you had a grinder set up right at the head of a drainage ditch that went pretty directly off the site. This is pretty vague for me, and I'd want to take a look at that area again, as well as the physical facts of the drainage from the composting area. Heads up: we are about to re -issue NCG12 at the end of this month, October 2012. In general, and in response to comments from the permittees, there has been a small relaxation of the monitoring and inspection requirements, although not as much as some in the industry requested during the public comment period. Sorry to be so long-winded. How's this for a plan?_ a) You request that the WSRO folks visit your site with this particular question in mind. I'll join them if I can; b) I'm inclined to think that continued coverage under the re -issued NCG12 will be sufficient, but will want to hear from WSRO that they think the same; c) if so, then you can 'withdraw' your application for NCG24 with no hassle from us. At any point in this scheme, if it appears that there might be pollutant discharge problems, we would have to re -think how we could approach it together. • Gail, if you see a quicker/better path, just let me know, I'm open to doing what makes sense for us all.

This will be a 6 -7 hour round trip, leaving at 9:00 and returning perhaps as late as 3:30 — 4:00, Greensboro is operating both a landfill and a composting operation on the same footprint. WSRO staff and i will be viewing the physical facts of the layout to see whether it makes sense to simply keep this site under only NCG12 (landfills), the current permit; or to require the additional permitting of some of the discharges under NCG24 (composting). The facility has coverage currently under NCG12, and has applied for coverage under NCG24, but we have not yet acted on their NCG24 application. In the future perhaps we will be able to reach a decision on this type of question of co -located landfills and compost operations without a SPU site visit, but this is a first time chance to see the on -the -ground facts, at least in this case. So, in addition to responding to the permittee's specific question, the site visit has some educational value as far as how we imagine dealing with future instances.

This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The following information is included with your permit package: • A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) • A copy of General Permit NCG120000 • A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit + Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form • Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements. The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable, report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://porta1.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/current- notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit.

Steve Drew December 4, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Some of the changes include: • Part II: • Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases. • Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme. • Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these more sensitive waters. • Sections B, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other analytical monitoring requirements. • Sections B, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined in the "Definitions" section of the permit. • Sections B, C: The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit. • Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action. Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit, including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than 30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division. Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it relieve.the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.

NCG120000 White Street Landfill Greensboro, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 1584-98-081 Dear Mr. Bassinger: _ On behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. (S&ME) submits this Request for Representative Outfall Status as well as a Sampling Plan in regards to the exceedances of the benchmark values of fecal coliform and/or total suspended solids (TSS) at outfalls #004 and #005 at White Street Landfill in Greensboro North Carolina. This letter is written in response to a meeting on January 8, 2010 between Ms. Lisa Ennis of S&ME, Mr. Lewis Walker of White Street Landfill, and Mr. Corey Bassinger of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDEN1P),, Division of Water Quality (THE DIVISION). Request for Representative Outfall Status Similar activities which are limited to landfill cover repair and minimal traffic occur within drainage basins #001, #002, #003, and 4006, with the exception of 9,000 tons per year that is landfiiled in the drainage area leading to 4006. Land cover in each drainage basin consists of vegetative cover as well as with paved or gravel roads. Similar analytical data has been reported during semi-annual stormwater sampling events. Please note that in an email dated January 11, 2010, Mr. Bassinger stated that THE DIVISION would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances. With is finding, Mr. Bassinger also stated that THE DIVISION would recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and .not as required by the Tier Response requirements. Based on this information, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. requests that outfall #001 become the representative outfall for outfalls #002, #003, and #006. Two copies of the Stormwater Pollution prevention map and a Summary of Stormwater Quality Monitoring is attached for your review in regards to this request.

During two subsequent representative storm events S&ME will collect a Stormwater sample from outfalls #004 and #005 as well as two additional Stormwater samples in the area of the compost/mulching facility within these drainage basins. Each stormwater sample will be analyzed for TSS, COD, and pH. Following the receipt of the analytical data from the second sampling event, S&ME will provide NCDENR with a letter report summarizing field activities and analytical data. Based on the finding that the "biodiversity." and the "wide range of animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances, the required fecal coliform monitoring will return to semi-annually monitoring as required by the Permit and not as required by the Tiered Response requirements. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please do not hesitate to call our office at 288-7180 if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, S&ME, Inc. Edmund Q.B.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality September 17, 2008 Mr. Scott Bost, Operations Supervisor City of Greensboro, Solids Waste Disposal Division 2503 White Street Greensboro, North Carolina 27405 Subject: General Stormwater Inspection - NPDES General Permit No. NCG120013 White Street Landfill, City of Greensboro — Guilford County Dear Mr. Bost: On September 16, 2008, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a General Stormwater Permit Inspection at the White Street Landfill located in Greensboro, North Carolina. This facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG120013 under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater, from Landfills. You were present for the inspection. Other City of Greensboro staff present for the inspection included Greg Thomason, Technical and Planning Support Manager. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of facility files and self -monitoring data, and an on -site inspection of the facility's outfalls. 1. Permit The permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. Please make sure you are familiar with the new permit and changes to the monitoring schedule. Analytical monitoring is now required twice per year and qualitative monitoring remains on a weekly basis. 2_ Records/Reports As required by the permit, the landfill has implemented an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, which was approved by NC Division of Land Resources. In accordance with the Stormwater permit, the facility also holds a permit for a sanitary landfill from NC Division of Solid Waste Management. 3. Facility Site Review The landfill covers an area of 980 acres in northeast Greensboro. Only one section of the landfill is currently active. All other areas are either temporarily or permanently covered. The landfill has no aboveground storage tanks of chemicals or petroleum products. The site does perform vehicle maintenance inside a covered building. 4. Effluent/Receiving Waters Stormwater discharges from this site drain to North Buffalo Creek (Class C; NSW) in the Cape Fear River Basin. There are six outfails on the property. All of the outfalls except Outfall 005 drain from Stormwater ponds. Little to no water was observed in the ponds, except for Outfall 006, which was full of water and Canada geese. Outfall 005 is an actual live stream (tributary to North Buffalo) that accepts a large amount of runoff from the landfill. Due to concerns of practicality, a sample is typically collected from the stream itself. Outfall 004 has some standing water and algae present. Please note that in -stream samples are not technically Stormwater samples.

S. Bost Page 2 September 17, 2008 5. Self -Monitoring Program The stormwater permit requires analytical and qualitative monitoring at each of the site's six stormwater outfalls. An on -site review of the analytical and qualitative monitoring data during the inspection showed that all parameters were analyzed per the specifications of the permit. Until recently, Research & Analytical Laboratories has been handling the annual analytical monitoring, and Mr. Thomason conducts the weekly qualitative monitoring. S&ME will be taking over the monitoring for the Stormwater permit as well as handling the erosion control maintenance at the landfill. The last analytical monitoring event took place on May 28, 2008. There were some sampling results above the benchmark values. Outfall 001 reported a high concentration of Total Suspended Solids, likely due to the open landfill that drains to this discharge point. Outfall 004 reported high Chemical Oxygen Demand, likely due to amount of algae in the Stormwater pond. Outfalls 005 and particularly 006 reported high Fecal Coliform numbers. Outfall 005 drains from an off -site pond that is popular with local ducks and geese. Outfall 006 drains from a large on - site pond that is home to numerous geese on the property. Mr. Thomason has completed a Tier One Stormwater management inspection at the facility since three outfalls exceeded benchmark values. If the next sampling event results in a value outside the benchmark range, you.will be required to follow the requirements of Tier Two Criteria and Responses. Qualitative monitoring takes place on a weekly basis and after a rain event of 0.5 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. There are ,two rain gauges on site. On -site vehicle maintenance monitoring requirements are also performed because the maintenance shop uses more than 55 gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year. All monitoring frequencies are in compliance with the permit. Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.

At this time, the Division would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances. The Division would recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and not as required by the Tier Response requirements. COD and TSS would still follow the Tier Response Requirement until the compost area study is complete. Rather than write several letters, I will wait to receive the City's response. The City does not have to wait for my formal written response to suspend the Tier Response sampling requirements for Fecal Coliform. Should you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me Thanks.

NCG120000 White Street Landfill Greensboro, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 1584-98-081 Dear Mr. Bassinger: On behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. (S&ME) submits this Request for Representative Outfall Status as well as a Sampling Plan in regards to the exceedances of the benchmark values of fecal coliform and/or total suspended solids (TSS) at outfalls #004 and #005 at White Street Landfill in Greensboro North Carolina. This letter is written in response to a meeting on January 8, 2010 between Ms. Lisa Ennis of S&ME, Mr. Lewis Walker of White Street Landfill, and Mr. Corey Bassinger of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (THE DIVISION). Request for Representative Outfall Status Similar activities which are limited to landfill cover repair and minimal traffic occur within drainage basins #001, #002, #003, and #006, with the exception of 9,000 tons per year that is landfilled in the drainage area leading to #006. Land cover in each drainage basin consists of vegetative cover as well as with paved or gravel roads. Similar analytical data has been reported during semi-annual stormwater sampling events. Please note that in an email dated January 11, 2010, Mr. Bassinger stated that THE DIVISION would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances. With is finding, Mr. Bassinger also stated that THE DIVISION would recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and not as required by the Tier Response requirements. Based on this information, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. requests that outfall #001 become the representative outfall for outfalls #002, #003, and #006. Two copies of the Stormwater Pollution prevention map and a Summary of Stormwater Quality Monitoring is attached for your review in regards to this request. SWE, INC. / 3716 Old Battleground Road 1 Greensboro, NC 27410 1 p 336.288.7180 f 336.288.89801 www.smeinc.com Stormwater — ROS and Sampling Plan SWE Project No. 1584-98-081 White Street Landfill, Greensboro, NC January 19, 2010 Sampling Plan Based on the exceedances of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) in stormwater samples collected from outfalls #004 and #005, S&ME proposes the following sampling plan. During two subsequent representative storm events S&ME will collect a stormwater sample from outfalls #004 and #005 as well as two additional stormwater samples in the area of the compost/mulching facility within these drainage basins. Each stormwater sample will be analyzed for TSS, COD, and pH. Following the receipt of the analytical data from the second sampling event, S&ME will provide NCDENR with a letter report summarizing field activities and analytical data. Based on the finding that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances, the required fecal coliform monitoring will return to semi-annually monitoring as required by the Permit and not as required by the Tiered Response requirements. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please do not hesitate to call our office at 288-7180 if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, SWE, Inc. G Edmund Q.B.
